Thing with a standing section is that league and cup games will be brilliant for the first Prem club to implement it, but as soon as you get your first Europa league fixture against FC Russian Ultra Headcases it'll go massively wrong and the media will kill the idea for another 30 years.

Once Brexit happens you can just bar them all from coming in, problem solved

This so much. Let me pay you $120/yr for every single match.

MLB.tv does this and it's amazing. The only reason I have Sling TV is for the premier league. I would gladly cut ties if NBC came out with something similar to MLB.tv.

tbf NBC may not be allowed to offer such a service depending on the legalese behind their broadcast deal with the FA (or whoever in England handles the negotiations for international broadcast rights) and the various cable companies.

e; although I guess if NBC owns the exclusive rights to broadcast in America, they can probably decided for themselves how they want to distribute those broadcasts, in which case a $120/yr type thing would be doable. idk, I don't know how broadcast contracts work

You don't really even need proper cable, just get Sling or PS Vue, they're significantly cheaper and will (ostensibly) still work towards the "cable" requirement.

This isn't to say that what NBC is doing isn't lame as gently caress, but there are alternatives to plunking $100+ bucks a month on a cable subscription.
